Best Beauty Looks 2013 Emmys Red Carpet

We love to see the gowns, some we would rather not see, but it is all apart of the fun! Even the Aussie WAG’s put on a good show Monday night at the Brownlow’s, showing, in my opinion, a higher level of class this year.

But, for me, it’s all in the beauty… The gown can only look as good as the woman wearing it and the beauty looks at this years Emmy’s are all very achievable for the everyday woman to replicate herself!

The overall common trend was inner corner of the eye, tear duct highlights or colour for the eyes and half sporting bold lips, half wearing nudes. Fresh skin was still huge with nude cheeks still winning this red carpet.

Let’s look at my Top 5 Beauty picks…

Who doesn’t love a bit of glamour from a Red Carpet?

The overall common trend was inner corner of the eye, tear duct highlights or colour for the eyes and half sporting bold lips, half wearing nudes. Fresh skin was still huge with nude cheeks still winning this red carpet.

Let’s look at my Top 5 Beauty picks…

Rose Byrne

My Number 1 pick from the Emmys was Rose Byrne – Elegant & Classic!

Her overall look was super classic, showing that you don’t need anything to crazy to wow the critics. Rose was best dressed in her Calvin Klein gown with many and I just love the simplicity of the makeup and the fun, finger wave hair created by Celebrity Hair Stylist Harry Josh, really balances everything beautifully.

Her eyes all in chocolate shades, smokey, yet defined and overall deep nude tones contrasted the pastel gown and highlights through Rose’s hair.

A slight flush on the lip and cheeks helps bring colour to the face; otherwise it could look to dull if all in deep nude tones.

When wearing chocolate shades on the eyes, they always look best with a much darker lash line and big lashes, which Rose pulls off very well.

Claire Danes

My Number 2 of the night for Beauty was Claire Danes – Old Hollywood Fresh

I am a big fan of nude skin and overall barely there makeup with a few accents and I just love that Claire’s look shows so many women out there that you don’t necessarily have to apply a truck load of makeup to be red carpet ready!

Don’t get me wrong, the nude look is hard to pull off and sometimes takes longer to apply than the smokey eye, but Claire is looking so fresh and rocks the Gatsby style blonde bob.

Claire Danes

When wearing a bold lip, such as this hot orange-based red, it’s so nice to see the one focus, keeping the eyes super fresh with a simple wash across the lid and mascara. This look, especially with the light hair and pale dress, really needed the highlights used on the cheekbone and the inner tear duct area, otherwise it could be a tad nothing and to daywear – highlights can always dress up a look, especially when wanting to keep it simple.

Sarah Hyland

Number 3 for me this Emmy’s was Sarah Hyland – Vampy Seductive

Green is not as common on the red carpet and even know I’m not completely sold on the choice, I think Sarah rocked her overall look especially in Beauty – she owned it!

Sarah does sport a deep lip often in her appearances, but here it gives a seductive vibe mixed with the dress colour and her pulled back, sleek low ponytail.

Once again keeping the eyes fairly simple and not overly shaded with eye shadow always works when wearing such a bold lip and I’m in love with her cheekbone highlight, lifting the look so it does not become too dark.

Sarah Hyland

Sarah’s rounder face looking very shapely due to some great contouring by her makeup artist – it really is the answer to any celebrity look!

Aussie Spray Tanner to the Stars, Katrina Brown from the Bronzing Boutique in Double Bay, had the pleasure of tanning the sometimes lookalike of Mila Kunis on the night, leaving Sarah looking radiant from head to toe!

Sofia Vergara

Number 4, but still, as glam as ever for me was Sofia Vergara – Chic

Sofia hardly ever gets her beauty looks wrong…
She is a lover of the mermaid style gowns on the red carpet, showing off her stunning curves and this red carpet showing off her face beautifully by parting her hair through the middle and tucking them away behind her ears.

I love the volume, loose waves through her hair and half structured and half soft – great balance with the shapely gown.

The dress is such a feature that going for a red lip would have been a little too busy, so for me, the soft blush tone on the lip and cheek work brilliantly.

With already almond shape eyes, why not show them off even more and create an outer liner flick, but not making it to defined or the only feature about the eyes – it is almost as if it has been applied with an eye shadow, rather than a liquid pen, following her natural lash line, so it does not look so placed.

You never want the makeup to wear you and Sofia always shows off her features well, keeping tones soft and adding lashes and a combed up brow to lift the overall look.

Julianne Hough

Last and certainly not least (as there were many highlights) but my number 5 of the evening goes to Julianne Hough – Playful

I am a big fan of Julianne’s beauty looks in general… I am yet to see her get it wrong and after her smashing gold/bronze smokey eye look from the Oscars, I always look forward to her next face she puts forward.

Everything is balanced and polished and she knows her eyes are a great feature for her to play with.

The inner corner, tear duct highlights were a big hit this red carpet and Julianne opted for a touch of sliver-blue to match her very fun and playful gown, sheer from the waist down, showing everything, but tastefully underneath.

Julianne Hough

With her skin tone and the dress shade, the perfect thing to do is add a little colour and using warm pinks couldn’t get any better – too neutral and it could of looked to washed out and I think fresh and fun was her theme.

I have yet to see Julianne without a smokey, dark lash line and why not when you have that eye colour, contrast is always best when wanting something to stand out.

The short crop hair is such a big trend with celebs at the moment, Rose Byrne being another one to pull it off beautifully. Whether it is left straight and textured, or soft finger waves with a beach element, this hair length is super hot and fun – Julianne’s sheer gown needed nothing to severe up top so everything is balanced perfectly.

So ladies, in closing, you don’t need to work on too much eye shadow to have a red carpet ready look. Textured, soft hair and glowing skin with slight contouring mixed with inner corner eye highlights and a strong lash will give you the look of the celebs – try it out this weekend!
